Natomic Posted June 28, 2022 Posted June 28, 2022 Hi, I've been trying to do a tutorial on the contour tool but I can't find it. I also went to customise tools and it's not on the list!? Why don't I have it and how do I get it? Thanks Quote
Alfred Posted June 28, 2022 Posted June 28, 2022 Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @Natomic. This ‘Resources’ forum section is intended for sharing resources. Your question belongs in the ‘Questions’ section: perhaps a moderator will move it. The Contour Tool is only available in Affinity Designer. Are you perhaps using Photo or Publisher?

Natomic Posted June 28, 2022 Author Posted June 28, 2022 Hi thanks Alfred I'm new to the forum and couldn't see where to post questions. If a mod could move it then great. I have all three of those but am currently in affinity designer specifically and the tool isn't there. Has this tool always been there? Or is it a more recent addition? Thanks! Quote

It’s relatively recent but it was added quite a while ago now. Are you on Mac or Windows? Which version of AD do you have? Did you purchase it from the Affinity Store, or from the Mac App Store or the Microsoft Store?

GarryP Posted June 28, 2022 Posted June 28, 2022 If you can’t see the Contour Tool in the Designer Toolbar, you can add it to the Toolbar via menu “View → Customise Tools…”. Drag the Contour Tool to the Toolbar and then close the customisation panel. Natomic 1 Quote
Natomic Posted June 28, 2022 Author Posted June 28, 2022 HI thank you, but it is not in the customise tool menu either. I bought it a couple of years ago - I believe it was on an offer direct on the affinity store. I'm on a MAC.... I did click the "search for updates..." But nothing happened? Thanks Quote
GarryP Posted June 28, 2022 Posted June 28, 2022 As Alfred asked above, which version of Designer are you using? (On Windows you can find this via menu "Help -> About...", not sure about macOS, but it's also on the start-up splash screen.) Natomic 1 Quote

Natomic Posted June 28, 2022 Author Posted June 28, 2022 Thanks all, I have managed to update it now AND the tool is now on the dashboard. Alfred 1 Quote
